Reversibility of Ace1 inhibition by DEA/NO in vivo and
in vitro. (A) 217CUP late log phase cells
were incubated with (open bars) or without (closed bars) DEA/NO (1
mM) for 10 min at 30°C with shaking (275 rpm) in the absence (left
pair of columns) or presence (middle pair of columns) of 10 mM 2-ME.
The pair of columns on the right represents experiments in which
exposure to 10 mM 2-ME (10 min) occurred after DEA/NO exposure.
The cells were induced (CUP1-lacZ) for 60 min and were
assayed for β-galactosidase activity as described in
Experimental Procedures. (B) Cell
extracts of 217ACE were incubated with (lanes 2, 4, and 6) or without
(lanes 1, 3, and 5) DEA/NO (4 mM). To the mixtures were added 10 mM
2-ME either during (lanes 3 and 4) or after (lanes 5 and 6) exposure to
DEA/NO, and they incubated for 10 min. The EMSA was performed as
described in Experimental Procedures. Representative
experiments are shown.
